This was another quick month! After Christmas came and went, we spent the better part of the month trying to keep the children healthy. Both girls have had coughs/colds, but we seem to be moving in the right direction. After Addison’s Christmas break, we got a dusting of snow/ice. Addy had a 2 hour delay on Tuesday, early closing Wednesday and no school Thursday or Friday!?! Thank goodness Grandma is easing into retirement and could help with her so I could work. Hailey was semi-miserable because 4 of her top teeth were trying to come in at the same time. Poor kid! Next up was an actual snow storm where Raleigh had probably 7 inches of snow! Again, 3 days off of school with many makeup days on the books. Addy had her first sleepover with Brooklyn the night of the snow storm while their daddies drank the night away! Fun for all – well except maybe mom!
Addison had her first music concert where I was able to stream it online. Grandma was able to go in person and take lots of pictures and videos.
At the end of the month, our little Hailey turned 1 year old! Addy kept telling her, “I can’t believe we’ve had you one whole year!” On her actual birthday we just hung around. Addy had a school friend’s birthday party, so she went to that. That night we had dinner and opened Hailey’s gifts from mom, dad & sis. Sunday we had a dinner, cake and presents at my parents’ house. Amanda, Ian and Emy were able to make it as were Uncle Gannon & Becky. It was an active house for sure!
Sleeping – Hailey is a full blown crib baby! I never thought I’d see the day! She has her moments still, but hopefully we are on the right track.
Eating – she has been introduced to many foods. We need to start weaning her off the bottle and formula. She has been doing 1/2 formula and 1/2 whole milk in her bottles. She has been getting breakfast and lunch at school and seems to eat better for them. At home, she really seems to prefer the bottle still!
Clothing – Hailey has moved into mostly 18 month clothing. She is still so long and needs that extra length in the legs, but not so much in the arms.
Stats from 1 Year appointment – Hailey’s one year well appointment was marked with 3 shots (MMR, Chickenpox & Hepatitis) and a finger prick. She wasn’t the happiest of campers! The doctor said she’s growing right on schedule and looks good.
Weight – 21 lbs 5 oz (73%)
Height – 30 inches (79%)
Head – 17.72 inches (52%)
Loves – she loves her mommy that’s for sure! She likes for me to be around 24/7 and can get quite loud when I leave the room or are in the same room as her and not giving her 100% attention. She’s big into pulling out hair; mine & Addison’s. We will tell her no, but she doesn’t seem to care. I have even smacked her hand and I get nothing in return! Sometimes after we say no she’ll smile and shake her head yes…she’s a stubborn one! She has learned how to climb the stairs and likes standing up and holding onto furniture to move around.
Hates – like I said, she’s stubborn. She likes to get her way and has a hissy fit if she doesn’t. She doesn’t like getting her nose wiped or getting her diaper changed lately. Nothing too horrible to report though!
